First time to travel abroad DIY trip because packages are just “CAN’T AFFORD” for the poor backpackers like us. Busog-lusog pocket money is around Php 25000 without airfare. We booked promo ticket from CebPac in November for Php 4490.00 per pax.

Our day 2 is dedicated to Disneyland. The guesthouse staff offers us discounted ticket, regular price is HKD 589.00, and we got it for HKD 520.00. You can get tickets to Ocean Park, just go inside Chungking Mansion (check the expiration date of the ticket). We have breakfast in Café de Coral, range from HKD 25.00 – 35.00.

We got back from Peak Tram to Central Station, roam around Tsim Sha Tsui malls and shops. Shops are everywhere. From Tsim Sha Tsui walk through Salisbury Road cross the street, Hongkong Space Museum building is located. At the back of the Museum is the view deck for the Symphony of Lights.

Tips: Be early to get a good viewing space. Symphony of Lights starts exactly at 2000.

To MACAU and get lost. Don’t forget to bring your PASSPORT since we are going out of the country. Same airport process. Roundtrip ticket to Hongkong – Macau is HKD 355.00, ticket back to Hongkong is up until 10:30PM. We ride the bus to China Ferry Terminal, secure ticket via Cotai Ferry. Travel time is around 1-1 hour and 30 minutes, ferry has free wifi.

Clear Immigration in Macau, then starts the journey. HKD is recognize in Macau, don’t forget to bring loose change / coins. We got lost in Macau and force to take a cab because we’re dying due to hunger and we don’t have coins in our pockets.

Tips: There are 2 Wynn Hotels in Macau. Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. Check for the free shuttle to both hotels. Macau is consists of 3 major towns Macau, Taipa and Cotai.

Macau Shuttles (Read the Bus Signs!)

Macau Ferry to Sands, Macau Tower back to Fisherman Wharf (Ride Sands Shuttle). Walk to the front lobby to get into the Wharf. Ride back to Taipa Ferry Station.

Last day in Hongkong. Macau trip is stressful because we got lost several times. My feet are terribly aching but we need to be G all the time. We are unable to purchase additional souvenir because we are too tired. We went back Jordan and Yau Mah Tei to check if there is any shops open. We’ve seen few shops open in Yau Mah Tei during the day, I purchase shirts for pasalubong.

Since transport system is Hongkong is really efficient we check out around 1530 and head to the Airport via A21 bus.

Tips: Cebu Pacific Check –in Counter is available at Terminal 1 in Hongkong International Terminal. YUP! We got lost again!

You can change your octopus card at customer service or keep the card, then buy all your loose change at airport stores like 7/11.

My first international trip is still successful. Same travel, different culture. I am in awe of the transport system in Hongkong and Macau. Efficient and timely. Being late due to traffic is not a problem. I hope we have the same road system here in the Philippines. It was amazing and got lucky because I already have someone to travel with.

From Hongkong with LOVE.
